Sexed
In case you didn't know. aliens start in gender-neutral physical forms, then get assigned male or female. But what happens when an alien tries to change its form? Take a humorous peak into a possible future world through this light-hearted look at how body shapes dictate well, pretty much every damn thing. And be prepared to discuss some insights into our current world of gender stereotyping.
Daruma
A young Japanese woman has a life goal of becoming a pilot but encounters both her own self-doubt and roadblocks entering a male-dominated field.
Destiny
A motherless young woman in Iran is torn between her desire to take care of her mentally disabled father and her desire to go to university.

A motherless young woman in Iran is torn between her desire to take care of her mentally disabled father and her desire to go to university. This documentary is observational, letting the people and emotions reveal themselves. And a thicket of relationships and expectations are at work here involving family, clergy, friends, religion, social expectations, friends. And Instagram. This is a window on contemporary Iran that everyone should see.

 

What our screening reviewers said: "Of all the films I screened, this is my favorite. Without a doubt. Personal, touching. I kept seeing images of this woman. Utterly charming, real, positive."
